When I start writing a paper, I usually start out by reading and re-reading what exactly I have to cover in my paper over and over.  After I come to the Point where I really understand what is being asked of me to write I usually go and some a cigarette.  I then begin to think of ways that I will be able to answer the questions being asked of me or how to set my paper up in the direction that I intend on it too.  When I make it back inside I begin to start the heading of my paper and maybe get a little mellow music playing (John Butler).

I usually don't make an actual outline.  I have some sort of vision, in my head, of how I want the paper to go.  This is how I wrote my term paper in my Senior English class.  This paper required that I did a lot of research.  It was over Scientology, and I wasn't familiar with the Religion very well so I had to do my homework on the topic.  Usually I just jump right into the paper and write.  I don't even think of the grammatical errors of where the paper will end up.  When i reach the required length of the paper, I go back and make sure that is has the proper flow and organization.
